Statement of Claim - 4.5 years after an accident..WTF

[Tripper]

Every insurance claim has a Statute of limitations (not Statue )

Saying that I never said anything about Statute of limitations so shove your head up your own ass and give yourself a internal gobby cunt! :knock:

I fucked up its 7 years.

here is a Pm from Southo, who we all agree is the insurance guru on here.
The question was a mate of mine gave a love tap to a guy and due to the minimal damage the repair was going to be done out of insurance and the guy had not contacted him, and was wondering about the statute of limitations

No legal time-frame other than the normal statute of limitation of 7 years. However, if he (the third party) delays the process and the quote increases (ie, labour rates go up, parts prices go up etc) and he asks your mate for extra $$, he can tell him to get fucked and only has to pay the original price..

I must have forgotten my italics ?

Wait till Tut takes a taxi ride in Aus then he will get the joke that does not require italics

Hey dude this has nothing to do with your accident which i would appeal the claim but i swear that my cousin owns this ute now.

[The Schapelle Guru]

send a photo of your butt to the guy and wait for a response.....

or if there are any lawyers here, get them to send them a mean stern letter telling them to git fuked

To the OP, dont ignore it.

If it is a Statement of Claim then proceedings have been issued and there is a deadline to lodge a defence. If you fail to lodge a defence then judgement can be awarded in th plaintiff's favour. You will then have more curry munchers harrassing you for payment.

:knock:

Do this - there should be a template form for lodging a defence. Put your facts as clearly as possible in this form, and attach your pictures to support your case. Send/fax your defence before the deadline. Chances are that will be the end of the matter at that stage.

If you were insured at the time give them a call and tell them to sort it out for you.

If you don't you may have Judgment entered against you which is 28 days in NSW.

Just checking too and this has nothing to do with the accident, or this particular ute, but going by your user name, is this your ute?

[ozyprd]

[crack]

i don't know whether to cringe or kick a field goal

Looks like he has had a sick puppy fitted to that thing.

I had one of them.

Got rid of it becuse it weighed a shit load.

Why dont you just notify your insurance company - let them deal with it. That's what you pay the cunts for.

Did that...they want me to pay the excess first ($1000) then they will chase it....

If I loose the case then I will have "made a claim" which isnt cool as far as insurance goes for the next 5 years.

Ive decided to defend myself...posted the defence paperwork yesterday.

Will post result here.

Kev

Statute of limitations is 7 years

Get your insurance company to do the leg work, remind them of this little clause that would be in the wording, normally along the lines of:
An excess will not apply if
• the incident was not the fault of the driver of your vehicle, and we are provided with the contact details of the person who caused the incident, including their name, current residential address and vehicle registration, and who they are insured with

Surely there are better things to do than to sit in a court room for a half a day - although this can sometimes be entertaining on who is getting tried for what..
